Our Live-in Pet Sitting Services
Live-in Pet Sitting
Prior to providing any pet-sitting or dog-walking services with a new client, we will always arrange a meet & greet so that you and your pets can become familiar with us and you can show and instruct us on your pet's care needs and routines.
Pet-sitters stay overnight in your home and provide excellent care for the animals in the home, following all instructions provided by their family.
Pet-sitters will check-in at the home at least four times per full pet-sit day:
- At breakfast before they leave in the morning: refresh water bowls, feed pets breakfast as instructed, and take any dogs out for a short walk.
- At mid-day visit to check on pets and take any dogs out for a potty break and longer walk.
- At dinner to feed pets as instructed and take any dogs for a short walk.
- Return for the evening for a minimum half-hour visit to provide company and play time for the pets, a bed-time potty break for any that need it, followed by sleeping over.
Unless otherwise specified, your pet-sitter will give your dog(s) at least one hour of daily walking and outdoor exercise (i.e. a 20-minute walk at breakfast, mid-day, and dinner, plus a potty break at bedtime) as well as company, play, stimulation, and cuddles as appropriate for your pet’s preferences and needs.
Cats and other critters in the home will also receive exercise, play, and stimulation per their preferences and needs.
Pet-sitting includes other duties related to the care of the animals in the home, such as feeding per your instructions, administering medication as per a veterinarian’s instructions, cleaning cat litter boxes, and cleaning up after the animals (i.e. scooping the pet waste, washing food and water dishes, or cleaning critter cages).
Pet-sitters will treat the home and the animals as though they were their own and ensure they leave the home as they found it.
Pet-sitters will keep the client/home-owner and/or family updated regularly on how their pet(s) are doing as per their communication preferences (i.e. a daily email summary).
Pawsitive Pet Care is happy to provide a daily picture or video of your pets, and/or a daily update if you wish.
